Scaling is a very popular method of cleaning, followed by polishing the teeth very thoroughly. This process is efficient in cleaning the teeth by removing the hard layer of external stains and tartar (caused by wine, cigarettes, tea and coffee) that does not go away simply with regular brushing.

Scaling is also a common and highly effective painless treatment procedure that treats gum diseases by eliminating plaque/calculus deposits and removing yellow spots along and below the gum line. Plaque is a bacteria-filled layer that is normally found in the cervical margins, and can cause tooth decay and gum diseases over time. Plaque is soft and can be cleaned by proper brushing and flossing. Calcified Plaque is Calculus which needs scaling for removal. Therefore, dentists or periodontists opt for dental scaling to save teeth and gums from getting affected by bacterial plaque biofilm and Calculus.

Types of Scaling
There are two types of dental scaling. However, dentists or periodontists can use both these types at the same time. Here are the follows:

Ultrasonic Scaling: In this process, dentists or periodontists use hand-held scaling instruments with a vibrating metal tip to chip off the layer of plaque and tartar. Once the layer is removed, a water spray is used to wash the area.

Deep Scaling: - this is done below the gums by Periodontists.
